Acer Chromebook 714 CB714-1 - 14'' Core i3-8130U 8GB DDR4 128GB eMMC

With an 8th Gen Intel Core processor, apps load faster, graphics run faster and many tasks can be run simultaneously without lag. This makes it ideal for heavy processing tasks like big spreadsheets and video transcoding. Strength, durability and stylish good looks are provided through the 100% aluminium chassis and narrow 6.18-mm bezel. The lightweight material means that it is less likely to be bent, warped or dented than other materials. Coloured aluminium is anodised so there’s no paint to chip and heat dissipation and corrosion resistance is improved. A first for any Chromebook, an optional embedded fingerprint reader located next to the optional backlit keyboard is a quick and secure way for users to unlock and verify their identity without a password. Since the fingerprint’s details are stored on the Chromebook itself, and not on the cloud, a user’s fingerprints are kept safe. Ask questions, set reminders, play music, control your home and more through Google Assistant. This Acer Chromebook comes with dual-microphone voice processing designed to recognise verbal requests from anywhere in the room, even in noisy, real-world conditions. Keeping in touch with colleagues is easier with a wide Field-of-View HDR webcam. So that people don’t need to crowd around a tiny camera, the wide 75 degree lens will capture the entire room when you’re keeping in touch. Fast boot times, ease of use, tough security and a long battery life are some of the advantages of Chrome OS. With a boot time of about 8 seconds you’ll start working quicker; the simplified interface makes it easy to learn; integrated malware protection stops viruses in their tracks; and finally an efficient use of power means that you can work all day without your power adapter. Tapping, swiping, scrolling and zooming are smoother than ever. The Corning Gorilla glass touchpad provides a slicker feel than a regular plastic touchpad, and gives users the confidence that they are purchasing a durable, quality Chromebook. With the ability to withstand scratches and dents, it will continue to look as slick as the day you bought it.
